Savoury Rice & Mung Bean Porridge a.k.a. "Ven Pongal"

“Ven Pongal” literally means a large pot of rice that is cooked with spices for festive occasions. Traditionally hailing from the South of India this dish is made in sweet and savoury versions around my birthday in January. The savoury version holds a special place in my heart for the warm comforting feeling that it brings. It usually makes an appearance in winter because of its warmth and goodness. Also, the added bonus of being onion and garlic free fits perfectly with festival cooking. Soul food at its best!
